The Sundered Way

[NotStickFigures]

"Yes, that will be an issue...Him and Renny might get along well learning to speak common together though."

[thinkslogically]

((I'm going to assume Nem is paused for a bit? Let me know if something happens for her ))

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

(( Flash Gordon? Really? Not Buck Rogers? So are we going to run into a gnome in a Fu-Manchu named Ming? ))

[spiderwrangler]

Tess walked far enough away before dropping her disguise, now just looking like another human. From what she can tell, it seems that they are waiting until morning to venture down again.

Between the guards and the party, the bodies of the dead, along with the treasure from the floor of the chamber are gathered and carried out of the tree's room. The tunnel slopes back down again, and it's splashing through water as you emerge into the quiet flooded five-tunnel chamber. Junara and the other guards that helped escort the gnomes take PNB into the fold, his nudity offsetting his frail weight in terms of drawing the short straw. You march onward, eventually returning to the sewer system, where Tess's voice speaks into Randy's head.

((Tess, this would be within an hour of you waiting, but definitely not your first time trying this 'frequency'.))

[thinkslogically]

((did they meet Ily en route?))

Nem's message will be something tired like: "Randy, can you hear me?"

[spiderwrangler]

((Oh yes, Ily would have seen them coming and scurried back. I don't think he'd be looking to be spotted by unfamiliar guards with crossbows, who knows how they'll respond to eyes glowing back at them. You'd be able to communicate with him once he gets back to just inside the entrance, maybe 10-15 minutes before you're able to make contact with Randy. You popping him to you, or leaving him in the sewer?))

[thinkslogically]

Nem will pop him out and ask him who's all in the group. Specifically checking on Holger and Maji. Then she'll just hug him and wait while Messaging.

[spiderwrangler]

He was able to see Randy and Dornikal before scurrying off. He gives you an affectionate headbutt.

[thinkslogically]

She'll also prestidigitate the sewage smell off Ily if the 'porting didn't do the job.

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

"I hear you, Tess. We're on our way out."

[thinkslogically]

"How many? They said Maji- ...is Holger with you?"

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

....
....
....
"It was a full on battle. Several wounded. Holger is here. Maj is gone."

[BadgeAddict]

(I'm guessing the gnome (presumably Gordon Flash) is being carried by a guard or someone)

But is also pointing out everything as they pass.
(A wall... It's continuing... Look at it go)
(Having internal thoughts is a work in progress)

(My point is that he'll be mumbling a lot)

[spiderwrangler]

Junara and the other guards that helped escort the gnomes take PNB into the fold, his nudity offsetting his frail weight in terms of drawing the short straw.

((Yes, initially just to get through the flooded part, but he's so weak and slow that they trade him off, carrying him the whole way.))

[thinkslogically]

Nem Messages Holger:
"You're ok? What happened?"

After a pause she messages Randy:
"Everyone else is ok? Coljin, Ulmwin?"

[spiderwrangler]

Holger gets his *incoming call* ping from his ring.

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

" Coljin and Ulmwin are okay. Holger took a bit of a beating. Dornikal and myself are a bit roughed up."

[spiderwrangler]

Anders halts the group by base of the stairs and heads up, "It's CL Anders! Open the gate!"

Guards outside hasten to do so, peppering Anders and the rest of you with questions.

"Take me to the Commander, I need to report to him first. A few of the temps are injured, make sure they get care."

He pulls Ulmwin aside, "Best place for the gnome we found is in the Infirmary, can you and Coljin accompany him? You can at least understand him."


Tess, you get ignored by Holger, but notice the commotion as squads of guards begin emerging from the sewers. You are able to spot your friends... but true to the reports, no Maji.

[thinkslogically]

((ignored because theis is away, or ignored by Holger?))

[spiderwrangler]

((Definitely because of the first, but since his whispers are going to be all slobbery and gummy, what with the loosing all of his teeth, perhaps because of Holger's pride as well.

[thinkslogically]

((fair enough!))

When Nem hears the group coming out of the sewers, she'll get up and hurry into the camp to meet them, throwing her arms around Holger in a hug before turning to the group:

"What the fork happened to you all down there!? What happened to-" a sob cuts her off before she can get Maji's name out, but she's mostly holding it together.

[spiderwrangler]

She is detained as she moves to cross the closed off area.

"Excuse me miss, no civilians are allowed within the perimeter."

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

A weary and beat up looking Randy trudges past, gives her a tired look and nod, and turns his eyes back to the front as he makes his way to the commander's tent for debriefing.

[Rodgeir]

Dornikal follows Randy and Holger unless instructed otherwise.

[thinkslogically]

"Im with them, dammit! Hey! Randy! Holger! Tell them!"
